    Indeed, which is precisely why a huge chunk of our system is aggregation
    services and re-formatters, paired with evangelizing CAP as a 'service
    replacement' or 'service enhancement' depending on who one is talking to. I
    don't believe that replacing services in the EM community can be done by
    stepping on people's toes. EAS, NWS and other services have a deep-set
    following -- the only solution is to enhance and evangelize, and let things
    take their course until the other side makes a decision.
    
    CAP has a lot of possibilities, and anything can be reformatted to work with
    it to a lesser or greater extent. But IMHO we shouldn't be over-confident
    that stuff works with it when it really only works in a limited fashion. If
    we do that and people latch on to it, it begins to look like marketing hype.
    And even a little of that can destroy credibility.
